One of BookBub's best historical novels of the year and Oprah
magazine's buzziest books of the month. From the New York Times
bestselling author of Mrs. Lincoln's Dressmaker, an enthralling
historical saga that recreates the danger, romance, and sacrifice
of an era and brings to life one courageous, passionate
American-Mildred Fish Harnack-and her circle of women friends who
waged a clandestine battle against Hitler in Nazi Berlin. After
Wisconsin graduate student Mildred Fish marries brilliant German
economist Arvid Harnack, she accompanies him to his German
homeland, where a promising future awaits. In the thriving
intellectual culture of 1930s Berlin, the newlyweds create a rich
new life filled with love, friendships, and rewarding work-but the
rise of a malevolent new political faction inexorably changes their
fate. As Adolf Hitler and his Nazi Party wield violence and lies to
seize power, Mildred, Arvid, and their friends resolve to resist.
Mildred gathers intelligence for her American contacts, including
Martha Dodd, the vivacious and very modern daughter of the US
ambassador. Her German friends, aspiring author Greta Kuckoff and
literature student Sara Weitz, risk their lives to collect
information from journalists, military officers, and officials
within the highest levels of the Nazi regime. For years, Mildred's
network stealthily fights to bring down the Third Reich from
within. But when Nazi radio operatives detect an errant Russian
signal, the Harnack resistance cell is exposed, with fatal
consequences. Inspired by actual events, Resistance Women is an
enthralling, unforgettable story of ordinary people determined to
resist the rise of evil, sacrificing their own lives and liberty to
fight injustice and defend the oppressed.
